Last Wednesday I went to a career workshop called “Small Talk: It’s a Big Deal”. I went with Sahil, David, Jarrett, and Moataz. In the workshop the presenter from STARR Career Center went over the importance of small talk as well as ways to initiate a small talk. The presenter also went over what are good methods to keep up an initiated talk. There were demonstrations done by the staff from the STARR Career Center, although the presenter only told the group that there were more staff members present after the demonstrations so it felt really scripted. I chose the workshop only because it worked very well with my schedule. Those that went to the workshop were given a packet regarding small talk and inside sums up what went on in the workshop as well as sections that were not covered in the workshop, it’s a very good reference.Overall, the workshop was very engaging and I learned about the importance of small talk.
